WOW

I know it's been like 'forever' since I was on here last!
The rest of the buffalo were rounded up, and shipped 2 weeks ago tomorrow!

Toodle ooooo....that's the last of the buffalo leaving home!
We had 100 even. We had one rogue bull that was Grimms, we left in the pasture, as we couldn't get him rounded up.
Then he ran away from home, which didn't bother me at all, because he wasn't ours!
Last Wednesday (Canada Day) I was up at 6:30 am, and going to make coffee. I was looking in the back yard when I noticed some of the biggest mountain ash back there was laying on the ground. I thought, "I wonder if the wind did that?"

Then I saw the big boy! Strolling around the yard...he was pretty busy tasting trees and such, then jumped back into the pasture!

He was slaughtered the same afternoon!He weighed 835+lbs. hanging weight! Here's a picture of his footprint and my dirty leg! I'm size 8.

Now

there

are

NONE!

So, Ray & I went camping this last weekend. Left on July the second, and came home on the 5th! Took Kalen with us, and fun was had by all!
Have to go again! We went to Hilliards Bay on the Slave Lake. It's about 2 1/2 Hours from here, but is great...the fishing was fun! Food was great! We never got home until after 9 pm on Sunday night!
Vanessa got home the same night from her wild & crazy trip to San Diego! She called the next day to say she had a wonderful time!
